12 Sep Eco Friendly Home Remodeling Advice

Thinking about doing some home remodeling and you have lots of new ideas you’re dying to put into effect? Then go for it because most home improvement projects are seen as excellent investments that give homeowners the opportunity to enhance homes while increasing their value.

Recently since global warming has become more threatening many homeowners have been gradually incorporating ways in which they can create a more positive impact on the environment before, during and after home remodeling projects.

Tips That Promote Eco Friendly Home Remodeling

For homeowners or prospective homeowners who may be interested in conducting home remodeling projects in a more environmentally friendly manner there are a few tips that can be utilized to promote ‘greener’ home remodeling ideas and building practices. These include:

• Avoid using wasteful building materials –  In an effort to conduct eco friendly building projects people should avoid using materials like carpet, shingle roofing or sheetrock  since they have short lifespans and limited ability to be reused or recycled . So when remodeling people should opt for more durable and eco-friendly materials instead.
• Reuse materials that are in excellent condition – Lumber, windows, doors and trimmings can all be reused if they are still in exceptional condition and removed with care. Why overspend on projects? With this approach homeowners can save tons of money because this will prevent them from purchasing unnecessary materials .
• Procure recyclable materials – Recyclable materials are pretty easy to access today because a large percentage of building materials that can be purchased contain recyclable content including: recycled content ceramic tiles, recycled content shingle roofing, recycled content carpet, cellulose insulation made from recycled paper,cardboard and recycled content plastic lumber for decks and porches. Using these are great ways for homeowners to help reduce the volume of construction waste in landfills.
